I discovered the Mighty when I got diagnosed with PTSD in 2016. My sense of isolation and confusion was immediately transformed into a sense of belonging. As my therapy progressed I discovered that writing was not just cathartic to me but that connecting to others was healing. The Mighty has been a blessing to me both for my healing and as a means of supporting others through their own journeys.

The Mighty has taught me so much about my own mental health. Before joining, I had so little understanding about what was “wrong” with me. I felt so alone, scared, and lost, but through reading stories from the Mighty community, I finally found understanding. I learned I wasn’t alone. I didn’t have to feel scared and lost anymore.

I have lived with a disability all my life yet never connected with anyone with the same diagnosis until my late 20s. It is a powerful connection to have with someone that has traveled a similar path. The Mighty brings people together in a space that fosters connections that can change lives.
